The Barter Boat connects strangers through their personal belongings and the act of bartering
Vintage polaroids, nesting dolls and a lucky quarter are all objects the Barter Boat has haggled for. As a contemporary interactive art installation, the Barter Boat travels from city to city across America collecting objects and trinkets from people off the streets. Then, in return, the Barter Boat makes them into art pieces to trade out in the next city.
